Walking canes and traffic lights
Reflections on the line
Highways of billboards
And trees of Birch and Pine
Bar room doors and disco floors
All lead a narrow path
To Broadway plays and Fists of Rage
Who reads the Grapes of Wrath
214 East Avenue a residential zoo
214 East Avenue where nothing here is new
214 East Avenue where friends in need are found
214 East Avenue it's nice to be around
When I'm walking in Volker Park
The different things I see
Old men walk and young men run
To get where they want to be
Streets are full and crowded
Sunshine's falling down
People in existence
Trying to make it in this town
214 East Avenue a residential zoo
214 East Avenue where nothing here is new
214 East Avenue where friends in need are found
214 East Avenue it's nice to be around
